Iris Ruth Pastor about working together on ​The Secret Life:
I want you to know how much less stress I have because of your honesty, integrity, talent, and hard work. You really did hit the jackpot with the doilie! 

Robin Brooks at The Beauty of Books loved working with Iris Ruth Pastor on her book cover for The Secret Life of a Weight-Obsessed Woman: Wisdom to live the life you crave. ​

The Secret Life... is about a woman who apparently “has it all”—a happy marriage, five well-adjusted sons, a stimulating career, lots of friends and extended family. But what Iris kept hidden from them all was her addiction to a “lover” she called ED—her eating disorder. This is the story of her shedding that secret, facing and owning her addiction, and taking courageous steps to break free of the disorder that ruled her life.

If you’ve ever grappled with something that prevents you from operating at full throttle, Iris’s brutally honest yet witty and inspirational story answers the tough questions, while reminding us that the possibility of recovery is within our reach.

Iris was
a Huffington Post “Must-Read Blogger of 2015,” publishes a weekly newsletter through her website, and travels the country talking to live audiences about the importance of “Preserving Your Bloom,” using your talents and resources to be the best you can be.

The Secret Life of a Weight-Obsessed Woman is available on Amazon and through bookstores near you. (6 x 9”)

​Designing The Secret Life... brought new expertise and capabilities to Robin's creative process. She had such fun coming up with this concept and design!
